food and freedom

hi chickies! i'm going to try to make this one brief... a hungry little biggles knocked a mug of water onto my laptop trying to wake me up for breakfast. it's in the shop hopefully getting repaired. i'm using johnny's desktop and he's got to use it too, so onto the food!

the dressing was made with philip'shoney mustard dressing in mind. just four easy to remember ingredients. simple is scrumptious in the summer - i want to enhance the flavor of my fresh ingredients, not overpower them!

as you may have heard, i am driving to toronto next weekend to meet up with nelly, heathy and a few other lady bloggers. (yippee!) since i may or may not have a laptop, i am going to pick and announce the winner of the raw food salad bar ebooks before i leave. the deadline for the giveaway is now tuesday, july 6th at midnight. click here to enter if you haven't already!

in the spirit of july 4th, i leave you with a picture of our civil flag of peace blowing in the breeze. it denotes our jurisdiction - common law (or natural law/the creator's law) - as opposed to military/admiralty/commercial law - the law which governs us today. the horizontal-striped, gold-fringed flag signifies a country at war.

the first civil flag came about in 1767 when the "sons of liberty" rebelled against the stamp act by turning the british east india company flag on its side; the vertical stripes representing the people's sovereignty from england. it was the flag of the american revolutionaries.

the founding fathers of this country created documents like the declaration of independence and the bill of rights to preserve, in writing, our god-given birthrights, which intended to free the people from oppressive rule. let us all celebrate the true spirit of 1776 this independence day... with liberty and justice for all.=)

So happy for you that you are gonna meet Nelly and Heathy..WOW I wanna come :)

Yesterday i gave you a shout in my non-holistic practices post :) Those links you sent me about vegan stuff, I posted them in my post so that people could know better, and then do better :) Thank you!!xox

I am in absolute awe of the fabulous meals you create as they all look so good both in flavor and from a nutritional standpoint. Too bad you live so far away, we are absolutely loaded with extra salad greens of every kind imaginable this year. We have been eating two big salads a day for ever now and are having a pizza loaded with greens for dinner tonight...yummy.

Those little patty pans sure look cute - and so perfect! And don't you just love salad spinners?! They are a MUST I think. We use it for everything. Those salads look so tasty; I'm really looking forward to Philip's ebook. yay! Creative use of blueberries. Gotta love that! have fun with Nelly and Heathy - so jealous you girls get to meet up but how fun! Enjoy!
